Dubai is quite possibly one of the most filthy countries on the planet. No wonder Europeans are flocking there. They can live out their colonialistic dreams.

CanOWorms is that you? Besides if you caucasian your as much of a colonialist as any european... Im sure that no american or australian (nevermind the one that beat her maid) did anything wrong.

This is actually a very common attitude in many European countries. Not everyone is like these disgusting British people in the article, but it's a very common outlook among Europeans.

No, most people in the world believe stuff like this. It's just that you're isolated from them because of fear.

However, I take it that you believe in some racially-based reincarnation though? Your post shows the typical example of European race-based beliefs that continues to proliferate. You are disgusting.

I don't understand how you can forget. You were freaking out to a ridiculous level because I was talking about European racism and then told me to "go back to my home country!" based on my ethnicity in typical European racist fashion. When I called you out on it, you posted some links to some organization you claimed to be a part of as if it was an appropriate excuse, and then you said that you would scan in your passport and upload it as proof.

I'm still waiting. It's been like 3 years now. It shouldn't take that long!

Did you read the article? They are being enticed with great wages however when they arrive, their employers take their passports and pay them minimal wages, essentially locking them into slavery until their debt is paid off.

One doesn't enter the UAE with debt to the UAE.
They cause the debt when they are in the UAE.

Those workers don't have any debt. They are renting apartments.

If you are talking about those wealthy people who bought investments and cars and borrowed the money from the UAE financial services, then the UAE is simply protecting their assets.
You need to read the article in the link, there is a LOT more to it than this British lady.

The article says "they won't give me back my passport" and it also says "I don't have money to get a ticket home".

Show me an instance where someone who had zero debt and had a plane ticket in his hands was refused to get out of the country.

Many people work in Dubai. The business people from America go in there W/O a contract and are free to leave whenever they want given they have no Debt. You can't go to a foreign nation rank up a huge bill and leave never to pay it again.

The workers in Dubai are promised salaries ranging from $100-400 a month. That is way more than what they are earning back at home. However, they failed to realize that $100-400 a month in DUBAI is crap. That sounds like a LOAD of money to them. They jump on the train and head to Dubai failing to realize that their entire monthly salary will not be enough to sustain their living life-style.
Who is to blame? Should the UAE inform the workers that $400 is crap or let them believe that they will be wealthy when they enter the country?
If I could live off $100-400 a month in Dubai where do I sign up? I can live the life of a king there and retire tomorrow.

Canoshit, show me the racist remark. It should be easy to dig up that thread. I've been waiting for years now and like always you are 200% failure. No go back playing some Legos with Rabishit.

That's pretty much a tacit admission that Dubai misleads foreign service workers into coming to the country and holds them there though a combination of passport seizure and economic measures. I don't know how you can paint it as anything but that.

The westerners that went over there and abused the system I don't have much sympathy for.

Sorry, I am not looking through years and years of threads for your bigoted remark to me. You know what you are despite your ridiculous objections. It's obvious from both your statement and your actions (any criticism of Europe is viewed as hostile by you due to your fucked up beliefs).

Still waiting on that passport scan.

It was truly one of the most telling posts on this forum from freegeeks. He's been trying for years to run away from that one, but his bigoted remarks will never be forgotten. As I said, he's the typical Euro-Supremacist.

I travel around Europe (not so much Eastern Europe) and I have no idea where you are getting this impression from. It is the British, French, German etc. public who are the main campaigners against what they perceive as 'imperialistic' actions like Iraq, Afghanistan, military bases around the world, Gitmo, EU involvement etc.

Look closely at what you said...'against what they perceive as imperialistic'...we can see from euro-supremacists like freegeeks that their perceptions are messed up...but I'm not talking about official government actions. A lot of Europeans long for their colonialist days, especially British people who try to portray their bloodthirsty Empire as more benevolent instead of the most violent and vile regime to ever grace this planet.

lol...sarcasm right? Right?

Maybe the most disturbing part about the article was the slave class, and how supposedly "educated" westerners and Arabs not only had no issues with it, but actually found it to be the greatest perk of the place. Really reminiscent of 18th and 19th century overt slavery.
